Will DeakinIt looks like the #DeadTree of "Route network simplification for transport planning" is out!
Thanks to @robinlovelace @josi and Zhao for making this happen, and was welcome happy news for the end of the week.
The paper explores several real world road networks. (Outside of this I also applied it to the centre-line rail network model).
The associated, albeit beta package, is available here PyPi https://pypi.org/project/parenx/, and more information about the paper the code used to generated it is here https://nptscot.github.io/networkmerge/
Thanks to all hte authors here but especially for @robinlovelace as, without his help and support, this would never have happened
